Narrow Escape From a Big Bear.

The largest bear any of us ever saw
was cinnamon that came within an inch
of killing one of my men, good hum
ter and first-class guido-Charles Huff.
Il may refer to the big cinnamon, too, as
an instance of the danger that sometimes
attends trapping the bear.) He had set
his traps near Sunlight, in the spring,
and was unable to visit them for a week.
When we got to the bait, trap and log
were gone. After taking up the trail, he
soon found the remnants of his log
chewed to match-wood the bear evil
IDENTIFY large one. had gone off with the
trap. He followed his trail as long as he
had light, but found nothing, and had to
return to camp. Next day, very fool
ishly, he took the trail again alone, be-
ginning where he had left off. After a
long march he came to the steep side of a
hill the bear had evidently gone up
there; on the soft, snow-sodden ground
the trail was plain. Just as he was be-
ginning to ascend, there was rush and
a roar, and the bear was on him. He
had no time to put his repeater to his
shoulder, but letting it fall between his
hands, pulled the trigger. The bear was
within few feet of him, and by a great
chance the unaimed bullet took him be-
tween the eyes. He had evidently tried
the hillside, and, worried by the heavy
trap, had come back on his trail and
lain behin1 great heap of dirt, into
which he had partly burrowed, waiting
for his enemy. Among the debris of
spring -tide-fallen stones and uprooted
trees-a bear could easily lie hidden. if he
was mad and wanted to conceal himself
till the enemy was within a few feet Il
was terribly close shave.-Seri5ner's

How to Build an Toulouse.

The foundation for an icehouse is the
first requisite, and this should be dry and
perfectly sealed against the air. A round
knoll is the best site, with slope in each
direction, and sandy or gravelly soil is
the best ground Proceed then as fol-
lows: Dig out eighteen inches of the
ground and throw the earth all around,
to be afterward raised around the foun-
dation to furnish the slope required to
shed rain water. Make a stone or brick
wall, laid with cement, three feet high
and foot thick, which will raise the
foundation a little more than the sloping
ground, just enough to secure the base
against contact with the earth and conse-
quent rot A sill 12X3 is then laid on
the wall and bedded in the cement or
mortar. and q frame of studding 2X4 is
trenailed on to the sill inside and out
side. The studs are tied together by
cross pieces here and there to keep them
from spreading. A plate of 12x2 is
spiked on the studs. The studs are COW
cred with tarred roofing paper or felt,
and an outside wall is made of novelty
siding. which laps over the foot wall two
inches on to beveled water table fast

How to Save Garden Seeds.

Peas and beans should be left on the
vines until the pods are well wrinkled,
when they should be picked and spread
until they are quito dry. Small quanti-
ties may be shelled by hand large crops
are threshed with fail. Keep them IN
a dry place.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should be taken only from ripe,
perfect-shaped specimens. In a small
way the seeds may be simply taken out,
spread on plates or tins, and dried.
Larger quantities have to lie washed be-
fore drying, to remove the slime that ad-
heres to them. When the seeds are
thoroughly dried, tie them in bags and
keep in a dry place secure from mice and
rats.
Beets, parsnips, turnips carrots, onions,
caulifiower and cabbage will not produce
seed until the second year. Set out in
early May, strong, well-manured plants
of last seasons crop. When the seed is
ripe, cut the stalks and put under cover
to dry. Then beat out the seeds and tie
in paper bags.
Seeds of all kinds should be fully ripe
when gathered, but it is also important
to harvest them as soon as they are ripe.
For keeping small quantities of seeds,
paper bags are preferable to cloth, as
they afford better protection against
moisture and insects. Always mark each
package with the name of the seed con
tanned in it, and the year in which it
grew. Cold does not iniure the vitality
of seeds, but moisture is detrimental to
all kinds. AgricuItur1St.

ened TO blocks built In the wall for the
purpose The inside wall is made of
matched boards or boards jointed to fit
closely and TO the space between the
walls Is filled with sawdust.
Cross beams are then laid on the
plates and spiked to them. and the
rafters are spiked to the plates and cross
beams. There is no need for close fit
under the caves or boxing in the rafters,
as amble ventilation above the ice is
necessity. For a family or dairy using
100 pounds Of ice day for months 20
tons of 1t should be put up. This would
make 500 cubic feet and would require a
house 10 feet square inside and u feet
high. A tight roof is needed to keep
out rain, which would quickly melt the
ice. Three requisites for keeping ice
are an air-tight and water-free founda-
ton, an air-ti9ht non-conducting wall,
and plenty Of ventilation above over
sufficient non-conducting covering. The
ice is packed in a house of this kind on
the earth floor upon a foot of sawdust; no
sawdust is required around the ice, but
this Is packed close to the wall and all
spaces filled with ice dust a covering
two feet deep of sawdust is placed over
the ice. The door is double. A cool
closet can be built in an icehOuse of this
kind, but it Will waste a large quantity
of the ice, and then a drain pipe should
be made with an 10 in it to prevent air
passing through it into the ice. The
closet should be made with walls of zinc
or galvanized iron and have double door
like that of the icehouse. With such a
closet twice the quantity Of ice will be
required. -Nea0 York Times.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
What Salt is Good For.

w hen You give your cellar its spring
Cleaning, add little copperas- water and
salt to the whitewash.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the
bottoms of garden walls Is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia,
drink a little cold water In which has
been dissolved tcaspoonful of salt
For weeds in the grass, put pinch or
two of salt In the middle of each. and,
unless shower washes it off it Will Kill
the weeds
the stain is first washed IN strong
salt and water and then sponged with
lemon juice.
In basin of water, salt, of course, falls
TO the bottom; SO never soak salt fish
with the skin side down, as the salt Will
fall TO the skin and remain there.
Salt and mustard, teaspoonful of
each, followed with sweet oil. melted
butter or milk, is the antidote for Fow-
ler's solution, white precipitate of ar
senic.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better than a little salt, with enough
lemon Juice to moisten it. rubbed on the
spots and then washed off in clear
water
For weeds in pavements or gravel
walks, make a strong brine of coarse
salt and boiling water; put the brine in
a sprinkling can and water the weeds
thoroughly, being careful not to let any
of the brine get on the grass, OF it will
kill it too.
fla chimney or fiue catch on fire, close
all windows and doors first, then hang a
blanket in front of the CRATE to exclude
all air. Water should, never be poured
down the chimney, as it spoIls the
carpets. Coarse salt thrown down the
hue is much better.

Save the COrnstaIks.

We still have farmers by the thousand
who never cut up any corn, and who do
not get dollars worth of feed per acre
from their cornfields, and not infre-
quently damage the land by tramp1ng
more than all they get is worth, says
Waldo +. Brown, in the New York
Tribune. If this dry season compels
them to save a part of their fodder so as
to teach them its value, that will be some
compensation for short crops. The great
bugbear to these farmers in feeding corn
stalks is the waste Of butts ''What can
we do with the coarse stalks2' they ask;
''they are in the way in the managers and
1t takes a year to rot them" There are
two ways to manage the corn butts {;
either will reduce them to fine manure
by or before May I. If you will rig some
kind of a cutter and cut the fodder, even
into fOotlengths, the waste can be used
for bedding either horses or cattle, and
will be tramped fiat and rot quicker than
straw. My nearest neighbOr cuts his on
block with a broadaxe, and with one
to hold the bundle and another to use the
axe, fodder for four or six horses can be
cut IN few minutes. [ use V-shaped
cuttlng-box with a circular or curved
knife and find it quite speedy.
But the trouble with the cornstalks is
more imaginary than real when the fod-
der is fed long. When I feed without
cutting, as [ often do, carry the waste
from the managers once a day and spread
it in the barnyard, and it is so mixed
with the waste straw from the stacks and
and the manure from the stable, and so
well tramped by the cattle, that it only
needs forking into pile, and allowed
to heat, to prepare it for use. Managed
In this way, when once the cattle break
the outer shell of the stalks by tramping,
they will rot quicker than straw and are
better absorbents. One trouble in most
stables is the small, narrow managers in
which the fodder must be fed My
stables for both horses and cattle are ar
ranged with a feed-foor instead of a
manager; or it might be called cOntinu-
Gus manager, made wide and high enough
so that l can walk the entire length of it
with my arms full of corn butts l like
this for feeding either hay or fodder, as
there is always an accumulation of dust
and dirt in any manger, and this enables
me to sweep it from end to end, as there
Is no obstruction.
